It is easy for you to say that from where you are- not so easy though being there & that includes the Elvis folks that was even easier to see.

In this world most folks just do not get involved- do you see a bum rush of interest on this site to get Prince Music more out there say on Sirius Radio 24/7? Local Radio petitions for a 2 hour show? No.

It is all the same concept- folks don't stand up and get involved- you say you would but you were not there so it is all hypathetical blah blah.

Recently I saw on the news a man beating a woman down badly in the street in Philadelphia....all watching just recording on there phones- not one person stepped in.

So all of your talk in what you would have done can be taken with a grain of salt.

Face Down.

Dead Like Elvis.

Hi jimmy how are ya? Actually i have.My line of work im around everyone from 2chains-tim mcgraw but,thanks....A friend of mine was on a pill a few years back and got addicted the pill was called tramadol sp and i knew she was taken a ton of them a day.But,i thought thats not one of those controlled pills so maybe its nothing.But,then one day she was crying and out of control jimmy i had to call the police.He came and i said maybe its nothing but,i have to help her.She said i aint going and your no friend.After age 18 you cant make them go and the cop said hey if you dont go i will lock you up he really couldn't but,she believed him and went.Somehow she convinced hershey medical center that its no prob.They gave her the darn pills back.NOW HERE IS WHAT GOT HER TO GO.The cop knew she had a script but,she had a 30 day supply in her container which going by the date she should of only had 4 left.So he knew she was buying them on the st.Her insurance only allowed her to stay for two weeks.But,she is on the road to recovery.Hates me But,at least she got help.And now that pill is a controlled substance.The person is a known celeb but,who cares.Sometimes its a cry for help.I get the pill thing though .Four years ago i was hitby a deer and at the emergency room they gave me muscle relaxants relaxers? And boy oh boy i felt great.And its weird but,i swear it made me concentrate more and come up with good thoughts and idea's for a fashion show.Once my supply ran out that was it.And thats how it goes.They're feel good pills.So my only point is that yes,people have real pain and it starts off that way.Another friends son had what prince had but,somehow it was laced with something more and he fell over dead.19 years old They said he took one hit and said 'what was in this?And died.

I work in/have worked in celebrity service for many years. I've had to draw a line in the sand a few times and lost thousands of dollars because of it. I was instrumental in getting a few famous people helped. Thats all I can say.

Better that than be party to something that could take down my life too. While I'm angry at everyone around Prince, he also put their lives in jeopardy too. He had alot of rank amateurs around him because he could control them and/or they had no professional protocol to guide them.

Theres not a much worse position to be in really for anyone involved.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Useless.

Amen to that.And when they start showing up late or a no show and hold up production we start knowing something isn't right.Mostly all of them have the same pattern.
